@cristianciula Can you elaborate on what you mean by disabling Postbot? There are no automatic actions that Postbot takes on your behalf, so none of your workflows should be affected.

Sure thing. There are a couple of distractions in my opinion because of the Postbot:

  1. The shortcut placeholder which is always present when writing scripts, no matter if the cursor is present or not (see 1.png)
  2. The Postbot tooltip in the upper-right corner of Scripts tab. (2.png)
  3. The Postbot button in the footer. (3.png)

For someone who never uses Postbot and does not want to use Postbot, these are simply distractions. I really like working in a use-it or don't show it environment and so far Postman was quite alright on this aspect, but this Postbot, especially the always-on-display shortcut placeholder is a total hindrance for me simply making the lines of code more harder to read because there is always something in there other than my code. Just as for Workspace settings modules, I thought there should be an option specifically targeting Postbot, being able to enable it or disable it and everything associated to it.

Don't get me wrong, some people may enjoy this, but I really do think there should be an option to disable the Postbot when someone doesn't want to use it.
